Abstract

Young children will make a preference judgment on the behavior of the world and characters when they are just born. When evaluating a communication scenario from the perspective of a third party, based on the behavior of the participants, they express their preference for the people close to the society. After children witness the fair and unfair behaviors, they can clearly show their preference for fairness and positive imitation bias, and imitate the actions of their favorite people in their own behaviors. Children's preferences for those who are close to society and those with good morality are not only reflected in their preference for behavior, but also in their imitation of behavior. Therefore, to guide children's behavior with empathy induction can play a positive role in promoting children's good personality to adapt to the society.
